ASHEVILLE — Police are looking for two men who they say attempted to rob a man at gunpoint in the Asheville Mall parking lot on Feb. 1.

At about 9:10 p.m., two men — whom police describe as black males wearing dark clothing — approached a mall employee as he was leaving work. While the employee was walking to his car near the Barnes and Noble entrance, one of the alleged would-be robbers approached him with a gun drawn demanding money, police said in a short press release Wednesday morning.

The robbery suspect then struck the employee in the head with his gun before running away with his accomplice, according to police. The mall employee was taken to Mission Hospital, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The suspected robbers were headed in the direction of the Tunnel Road intersection.

Police are asking for help identifying the suspects, who were caught on camera. Anybody with information regarding the alleged attempted robbery can contact the Asheville Police Department at 828-252-1110 or Crime Stoppers at 828-255-5050.
